But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you yet with gentleness and reverence; and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. 1 Peter 3: 14-16

Racism can be like an incurable spreading cancer. It will eventually kill the body it invades. It’s a Beast which has consumed White Supremacists, Neo Nazis and other groups. But racism doesn’t always wear white hoods and cloaks. Its tentacles reach a much broader base. Before I go on,...

A Review of the book Heaven. Edited by Christopher W. Morgan and Robert A. Peterson. From the Theology in Community series, published by Crossway (Paperback 287 pages). It seems I can’t get enough of books on heaven. When I first saw this book in our Church Bookstore I ignored it as I already...

Ariel Ministries Purpose Statement Ariel Ministries exists in order to evangelize Jewish people and to disciple Jewish and Gentile believers through intensive Bible teaching from a Jewish perspective. Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum is Founder and Director of Ariel Ministries. According to his biography:...

How are Christians Kept from the Hour of Trial? What does the promise of Revelation 3:10 really mean? Does it support the pretrib rapture? Some time ago I saw an individual’s anti-pretrib comments on various social media platforms. He wasn’t just part of the usual anti-pretrib police....

There is no absolute truth – or so some like to say. I’ve been reading up on Nancy Pearcey’s book Finding Truth and highly recommend it. She would undoubtedly respond to the assertion by asking, “Is that your truth that there is no absolute truth?” I first came...

Scripture Contains God’s Word? The statement that Scripture Contains God’s Word sounds very reasonable at first blush. How could it not? After all Scripture does, indeed, contain God’s Word. But the problem isn’t that the statement is inherently false. The problem is...

The recent violence in Jerusalem isn’t new. It has had a long bloody history. We’ve come a long way since the attack on the Twin Towers. 9-11 was an event which triggered my interest in biblical prophecy. No doubt it did the same for many others. The world sought to understand the...

Yes, prayer changes things. There are many reasons for prayer and we are told to pray unceasingly (1 Thess 5:17). John MacArthur notes: The early church was marked by this kind of continual, passionate, unceasing prayer from the very start. Even before the day of Pentecost in Acts 1:14, all...

On February 27, 1995, Truth For Life began airing its 25-minute daily program on seven radio stations. Today, Truth For Life can now be heard in every major radio market across the U.S., and also in select Canadian markets, through 1,655 radio outlets. The unique, expositional teaching of Alistair...

Were the Reformers right about Justification? Some are now questioning this doctrine. And there’s a lot of confusion. From the outset I must stress that I often write about things above my pay grade. I do so because they’re topics which stir my passion. This column is one of these...

North Korea has caused headaches and sleepless nights for many over the last few years. This will be particularly true if you live in South Korea or Japan. Anyone who has read Joel Rosenberg’s 2008 novel Dead Heat will also have cause for even higher levels of anxiety over the current North...

Prison Fellowship’s Mission We believe that no life is beyond the reach of God’s power, and we envision a future in which countless prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families, are redeemed, restored, and reconciled through the love and truth of Jesus Christ. We equip local churches and...

Should we love the “oppressive” Israeli State? It should be a no-brainer, right? Go to Genesis 12:3, 27:29; Num 24:9; and Rom 15:27. If in doubt hop over to the “Christianly” New Testament Matt 5:44 verse about loving your enemies. Yes, even the really nasty ones. Then do a...

The Last Days of Dispensationalism. What an intriguing title for a book! Does the book claim to hammer the last nail in the dispensational coffin? Or is it a word play on the fact that dispensationalism is associated with prophecy? Or perhaps it’s both? Following below will be a link to an...

These two Christian authors wrote on similar themes, though in different ways. Both impacted my life in early years. Each week I sit down and try to think about what to write. There’s a lot happening, and very quickly. Most of it isn’t good. I had a long list of troublesome items I...

Can Old Testament verses speaking of Israel be legitimately reinterpreted by the New? Can we trust what we plainly read in the Old Testament or do we need some kind of decoder ring? One frustration I continuously come across is the Covenant Theologian’s claim that the Old Testament is...

And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. Zech 12:10 […]
